Installation

Attach a terminal insulator to end post.
Tie end of twine to terminal insulator.
Unroll twine along the fence line. (Using Premier's reels makes this easier.)
Insert line posts.
Insert twine in line posts at the right height(s) for your animals (see below).
Attach insulators (preferably the notched PI 21n to corner and end posts.
Tie twine to terminal insulator at far end post. By hand, pull it tight enough to eliminate sagging between posts. Tie off by hand, or leave it on the reel and attach to end post.
Use one of our reels to rewind and store twine. EzeReels™ can be set on the ground next to fence. MiniReels are best hung from the fence.
Install and connect energizer to a ground rod and the fence. Turn on energizer. Check to make sure voltage is over 2000 volts.

Suggested Height:

For Sheep/Goats:: 5-strand fence—36", 27", 20", 13", 7"; 3-strand fence—35", 24", 12"
For Cattle:: 3-strand fence-—40", 27", 15"; 2-strand fence—34", 22"; 1-strand fence—34"
For Swine:: 3-strand fence—24", 15", 6"; 2-strand fence—15", 6"
For Gardens:: 2-strand fence—15", 6"

Precautions

If cutting the twine, lightly burn the ends with a lighter or match to avoid unraveling.

*Probable life is not a warranty by Premier. Why not? Because we know that longevity is highly dependent upon, but not limited to, quality of installation, insulator(s) used, rope tension, animal/wind/snow/ice/vegetation pressure and UV exposure (altitude and climate).
